All my life I have been around all types of animals and have never encountered one I wasn't able to become friends with. I love to spend my time with puppies of all ages and sizes as well as any other species. Also I have a yard to play in and a sidewalk to walk down. Once my friend's dog escaped his fenced area and I was able to get 3 other wandering neighborhood dogs to "herd" him back into the fenced in area. After that they went on their way, but after getting some treats of course. Other than my affinity for animals I am more than willing to do anything for your friend that you ask me to do. Such as specific feeding patterns, or anything else you want me to do to make sure your friend is as happy as they can be while they miss you.
